Cons: preloaded software, screen viewing angle, *slight* flex in keyboard... nothing to make me regret purchase

Cons: sometimes too many choices or options!

For the price, this is an excellent deal. I got it for about $750. When shopping online, you may wish to search the site a bit to see if there are coupons or deals. Also, as the browsers use “cookies” make sure you delete them as if they know ...

Pros: Dual core CPU, decent GPU, long battery life, great build quality, bright screen
Cons: Some light leakage, some screen glare

While shopping around for a laptop to replace my Toshiba a45, the Dell e1505 seemed like a good fit. I wanted dedicated graphics however, at first the Dell did not offer that. But after a few weeks that became an option. I have looked at many ...

Pros: Good price and quick delivery.
Cons: Hard to understand what some support techs are saying.

Cons: Memory is expensive, CD drive is mediocre, battery is not good

Pros: Value for money
Screen size
HD image quality
Speaker sound
Cons: Low battery life
Quirky hardware issues

Like most Dell products, the quality for money value is high on this compact and attractive laptop, the E1505. Seeing that laptops are not meant for long term multi-year use, I should not have been surprised to see the beginning of the end for my laptop, ...

Pros: easy to use, slim
Cons: way too heavy, computer gets hot quickly, battery is questionable

I bought this about three months ago after three months research. Some of my friends recommended to me and that made me to purchase dell laptop. The main reason why I purchase this laptop is the price. It is cheaper than other brands that have same ...

Pros: good value, good performance
Cons: runs hot, runs loud, heavy

Screen The 15.4” screen seems to be the perfect size for a laptop. The whole idea of a laptop is portability so these 17” notebooks out these days really defeat the purpose. I find that the 15.4” screen provides plenty of real estate and the screen on ...

Pros: None.
Cons: Hot, heavy, bad battery performance, terrible support, inferior parts, and screen not very bright.

The computer runs extremely hot. Hotter than most laptops I have owned. It melted a portion of the dinning table padding, the rubber feet have fallen off due to the heat it generates (it melts the glue), and the loud fan is always on trying to cool it. I ...

Pros: customer service, warranty, ease of use, great battery, customizable
Cons: little large in dimensions(still lightweight though)

Very easy to use before the hard drive had to be replaced
Nice Design

Didn't answer postal registered letter
Doesn't work same after replacing hard drive

Cons: Battery life not so good.

Pros: Fast Delivery nice screen
Cons: Won't hit the net. $100 restocking charge to send it back

Buy this system and you may well do that! The wireless will not work with one of the most popular modems out there, Bellsouth's Westell. I can't say how many Westells fail or what else it won't work with but buy this lemon and the following may well ...

Pros: Great price, easy to use, great battery life.
Cons: only trial periods or some programs.

Pros: Excellent hardware when it works
Cons: The worst customer servce and tech support I have ever experience...borders on criminal.

I bought a fully maxed out 1505 and it was a sweet machine for about three weeks until it died for no particular reason. I was in the middle of two monster projects. All my files were on the Dell. Fortunately(or so I thought)I'd bought the four year ...

Pros: The large screen, light weight, duel core processor and media direct buttons are great!
Cons: The over two week wait and 8 week $250 mail in rebate wait are cons.

I recently bought a Dell Inspiron E1505 to replace my Sony Vaio that I bought back in 2001. This notebook is awesome. It has an Intel duel core processor, and there is a huge noticable difference between this computer's speed and multitasking ...

Pros: Easy to use, great picture, sound and features
Cons: Too much unnecessary software!

Pros: Good battery life; ease of use; customer service people friendly
Cons: Recurring error message; customer service unwilling to go above & beyond; keys pop off keyboard

Usually my computer works well. I am able to listen to music or video easily (but I RARELY use the Media Center for this) and run several applications. This is what most people would expect from their machine. BTW, I am a graduate student and use my ...

Pros: Gorgeous video & audio output, Easy to use multimedia controls, Excellent speed
Cons: No crash recovery CD, Too many useless trial softwares pre-bundled

I bought this laptop for my 4 months ago as she was preparing to go for her Master's in Applied Comp. Science program. She needed a laptop which would be able to take all the flogging such a university program inflicts on a laptop's capacity and yet be ...

Pros: - None
Cons: - Problematic

I owned 6 laptops in the last years. This is the worst laptop of all. The speakers stop working, gets very hot & actually melted the body of the laptop just right after the warranty warranty. Poor customer service if you don't have a valid warranty. Cheap materials & not the best deal in the market.

I brought a set of new speakers from Dell & installed it. Suggest what...same problem. I had to take out the speakers from the laptop so that it won't burn up the laptop.

I called Dell's customer service & after waiting & waiting, all I got is a cold shoulder. They refused to do anything because this is not a safety issue but a hardware issue. I have to pay to fix the problem. They want to charge $150 (not exactly how much) for trouble-shooting. Any replacement part & services will be extra.

If you want to save some money, think twice! You save now but you will pay later.

Pros: big screen, good sound, color, vision. sturdy, lots of features, fast, useful
Cons: nothing that i can thiink of.. honostly a great laptop

im am currently a freshman college student who owns a dell inspiron 1505. i was told that a laptop was vital for my success in school, so i called dell. i was looking first at the basic notebook but the man on the phone told me that i would need more power and storage space, so he recommended the 1505, and woww how he knew what he was talking about. i absolutly love this computer. i upgraded it to its fullest nd got a ridiculous amoutn of storage space, more then my family computer has. the speed is also rearkable, at 1 gb. i use it for all my lecture notes and my interactive school notes. the tru life screen is a must, it vibrant colors cannot be done without. id now rather wathc my dvds on my 15.4 inch laptob then on my 47 inch tv, thats how much i love the clear and vivid picture and sound. with this laptop, u can record and burn dvds, cds, and music. it is the ultimate entertainment notebook for a decent price( i got mine for aroud $1100)

Pros: sleek look, fast, great when it works
Cons: infuriating customer service, not dependable

When I first got my laptop I absolutely loved it. No problems at all. Within a month, my "startup was corrupt" and all attempts at customer service were absolutely futile. Everyone knows Dell customer service is awful. Luckily I was able to fix that problem myself by doing a system restore. And now, less than six months after buying my laptop, Windows vista has completely failed. My computer has to be restored to factory condition and I have now lost ALL my music, documents, everything. A lot of people like their Dells, but personally I don't think it's worth the constant issues and complete lack of customer service. Go with a HP or Mac.

Pros: Nothing comes to mind.
Cons: Early Hardware failures. Tech support based in India with hard to understand accents.

I've owned the Dell E1505 for 18 months and the Korean made Fujitsu hard drive just went bad. Dell tech support first said it was the memory so I purchased $100 of new memory but that didn't fix the problem. Finally, the computer gave a bad disk drive error and wouldn't boot up. A $110 hard drive fixed the problem except by installing a new hard drive, you lose all the software that came with the computer and are left with basically windows. Before that, the battery died just out of warranty (1 Yr). Seems like Dell is installing cheap components and due to the problems I've experienced with a relatively new computer and one that wasn't cheap ($1650) I can no longer recommend Dell computers and will be looking to another brand with my next purchase. If you buy a Dell, get the maximum extended warranty you can afford.

Pros: Compact, stylish case. Great performer. Dell always runs great deals.
Cons: No PC Card Slot

When I was looking for a laptop, I had very specific needs that seemed hard for nearly every manufacturer to meet. I was looking for a strong performers (a so-called desktop replacement) but I didn't want one of those giant 17" eight-pounders.

Only Dell sold smaller laptop with the performance requirements I had set. The Dell E1505 came in a small size with a 15.4" screen yet could be affordably be configured as I wanted it:

Intel Dual Core 1.83GHZ processor
1 GB RAM
Intel Integrated Graphics
Centrino A/B/G Wireless
DVD Writer

I've had the laptop now for about three weeks (assembly and shipping were lightning fast) and it has performed wonderfully. I haven't had any problems with quality or performance. It is lightening fast, the display is bright and brilliant (even with power setting enabled to preserve battery life).

My only objection is the amount of pre-installed trial software that it came with. All of this must be uninstalled someday when it expires.

Pros: When it works it runs pretty smoothly actually. Unfortunately it's not very often.
Cons: Their customer service is non existant. Completely unreliable.

I bought this computer about a year ago. It has broken down four times and Dell has refused to honor the warranty each time. To make it worse none of the major repair centers (Circuit City, etc) will work on Dell's so you have to take it to an independant technician. It usually takes a good month to get the parts. Once Dell had my computer for three months and finally shipped it back unrepaired. They love to pull a bait and switch by telling you the warranty will cover the repair then when they have your computer in their repair depot they demand a couple hundred bucks to fix it. Finally I decided to cut my losses and just buy a new computer. this time I went with a different company. I will never again buy a Dell.

Pros: The machine itself is nice, no complaints. Easy.
Cons: EXTREMELY POOR BATTERY and power cord and replacement is very expensive.

I've had this computer a year and half -- the computer itself is good, but the battery goes quickly (even if you don't use it on battery), and the power cord disintegrates (check the reviews on Dell's website). etc.

Pros: Other then wireless card he E1505 is a great product.
Cons: Dell should suspend providing Intel's 3945A-B-G card until they work out the problems.

Great machine. The worst wireless. Intel 3945A-B-G card is causing no connection on boot and/or dropped connection while operating.. Dell's wireless forum is filled with the same complaints. I just got a replacement card from Dell and if it does the same Dell will either give me another brand card or I will return my computer to Dell

Pros: Good screen, would be a nice machine if not for cons
Cons: Inferior hardware, dell support, not as advertised

This computer was defective the day I got it. It makes screeching noises at me at random times, and it has a high pitched whine like a cheap TV. The hard drive also makes nasty sounds every now and again.

The ATI x1400 graphics card is advertised in gaming magazines, but it will not run titles like Oblivion, and driver support is nil from ATI. The Omega driver helped.

Support is nearly useless. I get a different person every time who tell me to do the same things over and over again. I have paid for the maximum warranty and support from Dell, and have recieved nothing but these junk emails.

I had been a big fan of Dell before this machine. My past two computers, a desktop and laptop were both from dell, and I was happy with them. This machine, however, is not worth the money, and I will be avoiding Dell in the future if possible.

Pros: high memory, very fast!!!
Cons: Very expensive

Dell inspiron E1505 is a very nice laptop. it maybe $950 but it is worth it.

I is very fast because it has high memory (RAM), good hard drive volume and 15.4" of moniter view!!!
